Federal Perkins Loan Terms and Conditions

Repayment
In most cases, regular loan payments begin after the loan grace period,
or 9 months after the student graduates, leaves school, or drops below
half-time enrollment. Repayment will initially be scheduled for
fixed monthly payments over a 10 year period. SUNY ESF will
transfer all loan records to the SUNY Student Loan Service Center
following a student's separation from the school. Following the
transfer, all loan transactions should go through the SLSC.
